By Kerstin Chyba , Katherine Tatarinov & Tina C. Ambos “Without innovation, we cannot meet the challenges of our time. […] We must learn not only new things, but how to learn. We need to share ideas, push boundaries and move faster. And we must harness the opportunities brought by digital technologies. Innovation across the United Nations system is essential for us to deliver at the scale and pace needed to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.”—UN Secret

By Richard Healey Over the last few decades, philanthropy and other sectors of the progressive movement have made an enormous leap forward in setting dramatically more ambitious goals. It was not so long ago that few foundations or community organizations would have been focused on eradicating structural racism and narrowing economic inequality, but today, those and similar goals animate broad swathes of the movement (however long-term the aspiration may be).

They protest extraction industries like mining and polluters like factories. They protect nature reserves, wild land, plants, and wildlife, and work to keep the air and water safe for their communities. For some women, such defense can come at a cost: physical violence, imprisonment, threats, and even assassination.

We have a HOA, board that never responds to emails or enforces the community bylaws. One board member constantly battles the members to do something about issues and believes they don’t enforce the rules because some board members break those rules. So, now the BOARD has developed a lie about him harassing homeowners and receiving anonymous calls complaining about that BOARD member.

How do we create the conditions that encourage that “Yes.”? Let’s look at theory, experiment, and practice. Theory: The primal-giving game The primal-giving game models the natural origins of giving.[2] In the game, sustainable giving depends on community norms.[3] In a reciprocal, sharing community, giving makes sense.

By Donald Warne We live in an interesting time. A movement against facing the truth of US history and acknowledging the existence of systemic racism is sweeping through many parts of our country. Colonization is embedded in that history—European settlements of the 17th and 18th centuries are referred to as colonies. The original inhabitants of what is now the United States migrated to this region between 40,000 to 14,000 years ago.

At particular times in our career, we feel nudged to evaluate, reconsider, explore. That’s when we make a change. A new job. A new organization. A new role. Sometimes even a new career. All of this is normal. Where we can get into a pickle is in the transition itself: you’ve agreed to take a new job but… you haven’t yet begun in the new position This is similar to w
